Chapter 1

The mirror in my living room suddenly gained the ability to see the future. Last night, it revealed tomorrow's winning lottery broadcast.

Half-doubting, I bought a single ticket. To my utter shock, I actually hit the jackpot! Overnight, I became a multi-millionaire!

But right after that, another vision flashed across the glass—my boyfriend brutally murdering me for the ticket.

Terrified, I immediately blocked his number, grabbed the mirror, and moved out that very night.

Yet in my newly rented place, a burglar broke in, eyeing me with disgusting, violent intent.

At the critical moment, my boyfriend suddenly burst through the door.

The very man who had slaughtered me in the mirror threw himself forward to protect me. A blade drove straight through his heart.

In his final dying breath, he choked out: "Run... Chloe, run!"

His sacrifice scared the intruder away, leaving me shattered and sobbing on the floor.

Did the mirror lie to me?

How could a man who took a knife to the heart for me ever bear to murder me?

While I was still reeling in disbelief, the mirror rippled once more, showing tomorrow's scene—

I was on my knees, crying hysterically: "Dad! Mom! How could you fake an illness just to steal every dime of my money?!"

The next second, my phone buzzed. It was my mom calling: "Chloe, your dad got into a horrible car crash! He's in the ICU! Go cash that lottery ticket right now and wire us the money for his surgery!"

Seeing Liam's bloodied body earlier made me doubt the mirror completely.

I rushed to claim the prize money as fast as I could and transferred every single cent to my mom's account.

Right after the transfer went through, both my parents vanished into thin air.

The death of the love of my life, followed by my own family's ruthless betrayal, pushed me over the edge. My chronic heart condition flared up violently.

Surrounded by suffocating despair and agony, my heart gave out, and I died on the cold floor.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the very day the mirror showed its first vision.

This time... should I believe it?

After hesitating for barely two seconds, I made my choice.

The mirror hadn't lied.

The winning numbers were real.

And my parents really had faked an emergency to rob me blind!

In my previous life, the moment I saw the winning numbers, my first instinct had been to share the news with my boyfriend, Liam.

Immediately after that, the mirror showed him choking the life out of me.

Later, when I hid the news and blocked him, he didn't know about the fortune—which was why he had risked his life to save me from the burglar.

It proved Liam only turned into a monster when blinded by greed.

In this life, as long as I kept the lottery prize an absolute secret, I could survive.

With that thought in mind, I hurriedly scribbled down the winning numbers and began packing my bags.

I had to be ready to leave at a moment's notice.

The next day, everything went according to plan.

I bought the ticket, and once again, I hit the multi-million dollar jackpot.

This time, I stayed completely calm. I quietly tucked the ticket away without telling a single soul.

Then, I instinctively turned toward the mirror.

What I saw sent chills crawling all the way down my spine!

In the reflection, I was sitting on the couch scrolling through my phone. Liam was creeping up behind me with a heavy leather belt in his hands.

Suddenly, he lunged forward and pulled it tight around my neck!

"Don't blame me, Chloe."

"Blame your rotten luck for winning that damn lottery!"

"I love you, but I don't have a choice. I'm drowning in debt!"

His face twisted into a demonic sneer as he strangled the breath out of me.

Once my body went limp, he rummaged through my pockets, snatched the winning ticket, and bolted with pure glee.

It was almost the exact same scene from my past life. My breath hitched in horror.

I hadn't even thought about telling him this time. How on earth did he find out, and why was he still planning to kill me?

In a blind panic, my eyes darted around the room—and froze.

Up in the corner of the ceiling, a tiny security camera was blinking with a piercing red light!
